clicking on the 'commit to buy' on a 'buy it now' when the seller has not specified shipping fees.

I clicked on the 'commit to buy' on an item on ebay.ca , knowing that the item was in Canada, as I also am. I was unable to complete the payment as the seller had not specified shipping charges. When prompted, I contacted the seller to send me an invoice. I then got an e-mail with invoice from E-bay, with a shipping charge as high as a similar item would be from the US even though no brokerage or customs was involved. When I queried the seller, they said that they charge a $5 handling fee plus the postage. Also I think the postage is too high for the weight of the item. I notice that the seller does not post shipping charges on any of their items. I have contacted the seller to again query this  but have not heard back yet. Am I obliged to continue with a payment?
